Went into Tesco Maynooth earlier, no sign of any of these deals.

Saved me a trip, cheers!

Also if anyone is interested new copies of Wii Music are 4 euro (6 including delivery) from gamestop.ie.

There doesn't seem to be anything left. Sorry

CiDeRmAn · 18-04-2014 12:00pm

Only a few bits in Ashbourne, best of it seems to be The Last Story for the Wii for a fiver. I picked up Soul Calibur V for the PS3 myself.

Star Lord · 18-04-2014 12:07pm

Think Last Story was down as €45 in Maynooth when I was there last night.

Sorry to commit the faux pas of quoting myself, but I posted my last message in the queue and, since then, the minion told me that it was, in fact, out of stock

Bugger!

Danonino. · 18-04-2014 1:18pm

Quick question for anyone who has the last story, is there a booklet with the game? Tesco had only one copy and it doesn't...

CathalDublin · 18-04-2014 2:47pm

Tesco.....
Better get my old pyjamas out!

If you had brought it up, it is likely that it would have scanned at €5.

CiDeRmAn · 18-04-2014 3:52pm

I saw Nintendogs and Cats, but they were at normal price, are they, in fact, discounted as well?
How can one check without going to the register?

Danonino. · 18-04-2014 3:55pm

Got a second copy of the last story with a booklet. You need to head to the counter and check, got a copy of super street fighter 4 for 5squid too. Also OOT gives you 24 cash in Cex. Thats a lot of profit.

Atavan-Halen · 18-04-2014 7:26pm

I have a spare copy of the last story if anyone wants it.

johnny_ultimate · 18-04-2014 7:28pm

****loads of games left in Dundrum, including plenty of Mario Karts. Pretty much all the 3ds games are gone though. Plenty of 360 and PS3 stuff however.

Any copies of metroid trilogy left?

fifth · 18-04-2014 10:09pm

Will check my local tesco tomorrow, for a 3DS OOT or Mario Kart.. i'd imagine it's cleared out though.

Nope, afraid not!

A lot of shovelware (animal games ending with the letter 'z' comprised most of the DS section), but quite a few decent games there too assuming one doesn't already have them. The likes of Witcher 2 and Dark Souls were there for great prices, also Da Blob 2 on DS for 3 euro. If you want to fill a few gaps in your 360/PS3 collection, I'm sure there's a few worthwhile games there. I only picked up a Mario Kart (there was around ten of them there) and a copy of Tomb Raider Underworld for 5, probably a few more I would have picked up but have spent too much on games recently!

Very few Nintendo first party releases still there, however - I'm sure they've all been well swept up for further selling :pac:

Sorry dude, both gone! I'll pick up more if I come across them.

Some places will have a self scanner on the isles somewhere.

Or failing that just bring a bunch of stuff to the self service checkouts and then cancel the order.

I did that in the original Tesco rush, ya know back before it got popular.

Nothing was reduced on shelf, so I brought up a copy of each 3DS and got here to scan them all.

'That's 5 euro"
"Ill get that so"
"This one is 40, you getting that one?"
"not a hope, please continue."

19-04-2014 11:45am

Had a quick look in cex (limerick) this morning and they have a load of metroid trilogies! guess someone got a haul in tesco's, never seen a copy in cex before, all looked new too!!

should have picked up one, how much are they?

19-04-2014 11:50am

€35, already have a copy so not bothered, decent price I suppose, not as decent as a fiver though.

fifth · 19-04-2014 2:31pm

Nothing much left. Picked up around 7 Xbox games I'd been wanting to play and a couple Wii titles like Nights/Metroid other m for €5.

Danonino. · 19-04-2014 5:00pm

This happened with skyway sword and Kirby's epic yarn in Waterford. Sickened as I wanted to play through them again and missed them.

Only bought a copy of metroid in cex in okish condition for that price, would have been over the moon to get a new copy for €5. Maybe next time

Been trying to find a new copy for ages for a reasonable price.

Any chance you'd be back there any time soon?

If so and you'd be willing to pick up a copy and post it, I'd happily cover the costs and give you an extra tenner for the trouble.

OwaynOTT · 20-04-2014 2:43am

Tesco in Thurles had 10 metroids yesterday. Ten like. Ten.

Because I wasn't there, it was a friend of my brother. Gone now.

In other news my brother traded in his metroid trilogy for call of duty last year. He got €10 trade in. What a jackass.

MrVestek · 20-04-2014 3:19am

Full DJ Hero set left in Tesco in Tallaght earlier today when I was there, for Xbox 360 for €10.

It wasn't in the gaming section but rather somebody had left it near the entrance.

I didn't get it because I already have the set. Get it before it's gone!

STG.Otaku · 20-04-2014 11:53am

Just posting again in case anyone is out in Tesco today. If you see Castlevania and Metroid, I'd be super grateful if someone could pick them up for me. Cash waiting to send immediately plus postage etc.

Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks a mil.

CiDeRmAn · 20-04-2014 11:57am

Has anyone checked out Balbriggan Tesco yet?
I might nip up there this morning but don't want to go if there's nothing to see!
Retr0, help a guy out!

Myrddin · 20-04-2014 12:10pm

If anyone spots a LoZ Spirit Tracks, would they mind picking it up for me?

Optimus Prime · 20-04-2014 12:37pm

Metroids in naas. I'll pick up a spare to trade for 3ds games.

Yeah €5 in Dundrum & other stores I think. Still though, even a tenner is a serious bargain

Optimus Prime · 20-04-2014 1:25pm

Yeh they where a tenner, i bought 3 of them haha..

Myrddin · 20-04-2014 1:26pm

Were there any copies of LoZ Spirit Tracks there Keith?

Optimus Prime · 20-04-2014 1:29pm

No had a look for you didnt see them. lots of brain training, cooking mama, etc.. i got pilotwings and the kid got super pokemon rumble. they had good few other ps3 games. duke nukem on the xbox 360, about 30 of them.

Optimus Prime · 20-04-2014 1:33pm

did anyone get mario kart on the 3ds? anyone want to trade a new one of them for metroid?

CiDeRmAn · 20-04-2014 1:59pm

I'm up here in Tesco Balbriggan now, seems like a lot of 360/PS3 stuff but any decent 3DS stuff is gone.
Loads if Last Story for the Wii though but not much else.
I might get Dirt 3 and something else for the hell of it, seeing as I'm here!
